Israel Cycling Academy to ride Factor Bikes in 2020

Israel Cycling Academy will ride Factor bikes in 2020 after agreeing a three-year deal with the British company. The partnership marks a return to the WorldTour for Factor Bikes, which previously supplied AG2R La Mondiale in 2017 and 2018.

Following a takeover of Katusha-Alpecin, Israel Cycling Academy will step up to the WorldTour for the first time in 2020. Nils Politt and Alex Dowsett are among the Katusha riders to join the merged team, while new arrivals include Dan Martin and André Greipel.

The team raced on De Rosa bikes for the past two seasons, when they earned wildcard invitations to the Giro d’Italia.
